What were Jesus and early Christians like?

[Thumpalumpacus]

One wonders whether inshallah is the direct menifestation of preservation of a certain brutal fatalism that might have prevailed amongst the pre-Islamic Bedouin society with their marginal wondering existence and internecine tribal warfare. This would make it a different thing from Calvinism, which is a Christian theologically derived thing with tenuous connection to pre-Christian social and moral norms.

I agree that conceptually they're probably disparate, each with a unique origin.

I also think that the harshness of the desert probably did impose a harsh sociocultural outlook, including the idea thattaking care of someone who appears doomed might be a frivolous waste of the clan's limited resources. Whether that morphed into inshallah or not is beyond my reckoning.

I didn't want to break his brain this early.

Forgive my impertinence, but it appears someone stole a march on you in that department.
